Chapter 16: Xuanjin

At noon, the scorching sun is in the sky.

In a spacious and bright hall, there was a table of banquets, and Wang Changsheng sat on the main seat, accompanied by members of the Wang family who belonged to the Qing family.

"Ninth uncle, this is the golden ridge saury just caught from the river. I don't know what flavor you like. It's both steamed and braised. There is also this Yuzhen chicken, which has been fed with rice since I was a child, and it tastes good. There is also this roast duck. , Ducks grow up drinking well water and eating rice, and the meat is fresh and tender." Wang Qingshan introduced enthusiastically, smiling all over his face.

"Yeah! Uncle Ninth, this jade soup is made from the freshest bamboo shoots. It's sweet and delicious."

"And this ginseng stewed pigeon is also a special dish of our Qingshi Town."

The clan elders of the Qing generation started talking one after another, introducing Wang Changsheng to the dishes on the table.

"Okay, alright, I want to eat it myself and then take it, don't just watch me eat it, you don't have to be too restrained, just drink when it's time to drink." Wang Changsheng waved his hand and instructed.

All the clan elders agreed one after another, but they agreed with their mouths and seldom used chopsticks.

It is rare to be able to accompany Wang Changsheng to dinner, so they naturally have to serve carefully, how dare they be too casual.

They all wanted to please Wang Changsheng, so that they could bring their juniors by their side and seek a better future.

"Ninth Uncle, it's not good, something big has happened." At this moment, a somewhat urgent voice sounded.

Wang Qiusheng rushed in in a hurry, followed by several members of the Wang family with the name Qiu.

"What's the matter? Another family member was killed?" Wang Changsheng put down his chopsticks and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, a corpse was found in the quarry. It was bitten to death by a zombie. The deceased was named Wang Youliang, who had been working in the quarry." Wang Qiusheng nodded and explained the ins and outs of the incident.

"Wang Youliang? Didn't I tell all the clansmen to leave the quarry? Why are people still stranded? Who manages this quarry?" Wang Changsheng asked sternly.

A tall middle-aged man took two steps forward and said respectfully, "Grandson Wang Qiu has only met Ninth Uncle, and the quarry is under my control. According to Ninth Uncle's instructions, all the clansmen evacuated the quarry yesterday. But I don't know what happened, Wang Youliang secretly ran back to the quarry last night and was bitten to death by a zombie."

"Where is this quarry? The body hasn't been burned yet!"

"More than 30 miles east of the town, the body hasn't been burned yet. I made people look after the body and didn't turn it around."

Wang Changsheng stood up and instructed: "Qiusheng, Qiu Cai, you two come with me, Qingshan, I remember there is a quarry, first withdraw all the clansmen, before the zombies are completely eliminated, all the Clan members are not allowed to leave Qingshi Town without authorization, and violators will be severely punished."

"Yes, Ninth Uncle, my nephew will give the order."

Wang Changsheng's lips moved a few times, and a white cloud appeared out of nowhere, and Wang Qiusheng dragged Wang Qiu up to it.

The white cloud slowly lifted into the sky and flew towards the east.

After half an hour, Wang Changsheng appeared in a giant canyon. The canyon was surrounded by mountains, with a lot of gravel scattered on the ground. The surrounding peaks had obvious traces of fire.

Not far away, there is a peak of three or four hundred feet high. At the foot of the mountain are dozens of people from the Wang family. There are obvious traces of calcination on the left side of the foot of the mountain, and there are many huge bluestones that have been mined nearby.

Under the guidance of Wang Qiucai, Wang Changsheng soon saw a corpse with two blood holes in its neck.

"Ninth Uncle, I thought the zombies were wiped out. We returned to the quarry this morning and planned to quarry. As soon as we arrived at the quarry, we found Wang Youliang's body." Wang Qiucai explained the details.

Wang Changsheng carefully discovered that Wang Youliang's chest was bulging, as if there was something.

He took out a fist-sized cyan stone from Wang Youliang's arms. At first glance, it was nothing special, but if you look closely, you can see that the surface of the stone emits a faint golden light, as if there is some metal mixed in it.

"This is gold? Is there a gold mine in this quarry?" Wang Changsheng suddenly realized and asked Wang Qiucai.

"It's not gold, and we don't know what it is. It won't burn even if it's burned in the stove for a long time, and it's useless to chop with a knife." Wang Qiucai shook his head and said.

Wang Changsheng turned his eyes and asked, "Is this stone collected here?"

"Yes, I just discovered it a few days ago, I thought it was gold, but after burning it in the stove for a long time, the stone was intact. The third uncle sent Qiu Mao to the county town to invite Master Jade, but he didn't see what it was. thing."

"Take me to the place where this kind of stone was found, and burn the body immediately."

Wang Qiucai instructed the two clansmen to burn the body, and he personally led Wang Changsheng to the stone wall on the right at the foot of the mountain.

The stone wall was dark, obviously burned by fire, and under the sunlight, bursts of golden light were faintly emitted.

"Dispatch the clansmen and let them go back. Also, if someone has this kind of stone in their hands, let them hand it over immediately. If they dare to hide it, they will be severely punished." Wang Changsheng instructed solemnly.

Wang Qiucai rolled his eyes and asked cautiously, "Ninth Uncle, is this something used by immortals?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. If it's really something used by immortal cultivators, you can be transferred back to the master's house to do things. Before that, keep your mouth shut. In addition, gather all the clansmen in the quarry, and don't allow them to contact outsiders. This matter is a top secret of our Wang family, and those who leak it will be severely punished."

"Yes, Uncle Ninth, I'll do it now." Wang Qiucai agreed, turning around and leaving.

"Qiusheng, follow along, disperse the clan, and don't allow anyone to stay here."

Wang Qiusheng responded and turned to leave.

After all the Wang family members left, Wang Changsheng raised his hands together, and two crystal-clear ice cones that were about a foot long flew out, hitting the stone wall with golden light.

With two soft sounds, the two ice cones shattered, and a white frost appeared on the stone wall.

Wang Changsheng was overjoyed, he took out the money sword and slashed it on the stone wall.

A "keng" sound of gold and iron colliding sounded, and the sword of the money sword was blocked before it entered the stone wall.

"As expected, I guessed correctly. This is Xuanjin, so I don't know how big it is." Wang Changsheng said in an inaudible voice, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Xuanjin, a commonly used metal in the Xiu Xian world, is a first-order low-grade refining material, and is often used to refine swords and other spiritual tools.

A pound of profound gold is worth thirty spirit stones on the market, and if it is refined into a spirit weapon, the price will be even higher.

This quarry actually has Xuanjin, a metal ore commonly used in the world of immortal cultivation, which is beyond Wang Changsheng's expectations.

But it doesn't need to be too much. Even if it is only 100 catties, it can sell 3,000 spirit stones. This amount is also a large amount for the Wang family.

The Wang family is currently opening up sources and reducing expenditures, and they are short of spiritual stones! With this mysterious gold lode, the Wang family will definitely be able to overcome the current difficulties. If the scale of the mysterious gold lode is relatively large, it might be an opportunity for the rise of the Wang family.

Wang Changsheng calmed down his excitement, looking at the stone wall glowing with golden light, his face was cloudy for a while.

To be honest, after confirming that this was Xuan Jin, Wang Changsheng's first thought was not to report it to the family, but to monopolize the Xuan Jin.

Everyone has selfishness, and Wang Changsheng is no exception.

If he monopolized these profound golds in exchange for resources to cultivate immortals, his cultivation speed would be much faster. If there were enough profound golds, it would not be a problem for him to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi refining.

Wang Changsheng was in a state of turmoil. On the one hand, he was a family that could not make ends meet, and on the other hand, he was a slow self-cultivator.

The family treats him well. His mother sends him immortal cultivation resources every year, and his cousin gave him a spiritual egg that he couldn’t bear to eat. Before leaving the family, the sixth uncle gave him a few first-order low-grade talismans, which his father used for himself. The money sword of his was given to him for self-defense, his mother gave him the Feitian Talisman that he had treasured for many years to save his life, and the fifth uncle gave him three Qi-refining pills.

When Wang Changsheng thought of the kindness of his relatives to him, he felt extremely ashamed of his selfishness.
